Easy Populate 1.2.5.4 support

[Feznizzle]

Hi!

I installed downloaded and installed Easy Populate CSV into a ZC151.

The installation appeared to go off without a hitch.

The "instructions" reference two menus for the mod. The first appears here:
Admin -> Tools -> Easy Populate

That menu shows up and appears to be working just fine. I am able to Create/Download csv files just fine. I have not tried to change/upload anything yet.

PROBLEM:
The second menu referenced by the instructions should appear here:
Admin -> Configuration -> Easy Populate

That menu is not showing up! I have logged in/out. I opened the admin in a different browser (in case of cache issue). I have uninstalled both the files and the sql (admin/easypopulate.php?langer=remove), then reinstalled.

Same problem!

I have the following mods installed:
• Template from Picaflur
• Ceon URI UMM
• Ceon URI Manager
• Image Handler
• Lightbox - use Zen Lightbox
• CKEditor

Any hints about what I should do would be greatly appreciated!

Since I'm here already... I'm very curious about why this mod keeps the folder containing EP store files in the store root rather than in the admin folder? Seems very illogical to me.

Thanks,
Mike

The version you have selected is "very shaky".

There is EP version 4 by chadderuski, but I am not sure if it's in the plugins yet. He has a version on github. Find the support thread for Easy Populate 4 and see if you can get the link to github.

Remove the version you have, and if there is anything in the dbase to undo, run the uninstall script.

Thanks, schoolboy.

Here is the link for anybody else who wanders in:

On the first page of that thread is a link to github.

I've just downloade easy_populate_csv_for_zencart_v1.5.x_v1.2.5.7c.

I cannot figure out where the files in the tempEP folder are supposed to go. I will be moving them with FileZilla. I am very new to ZenCart, so when I read in the install file:

2) The temp folder is configured to reside in your store directory. If you store is not in the site root (eg. /mystore/) then the temp directory must also go in this directory.

I went to FileZilla and looked for a folder called /mystore/ and there is not one. So where is says "If you store is not in xxx ... must also go in this directory. Go in which directory??? The root directory (public_html)? and should the files just go in a folder called tempEP or just in the root directory and not in a folder?

At public_html, these are the folders I have:

.qidb
admin-xxx
cache
docs
download
editors
email
extras
images
includes
logs
media
popups
pub
Testing (which is a folder I created to try out php scripts)

So please someone tell me where these files go.

My one complaint with ZenCart so far has been that instructions for adding modules have been very confusing and tedious. I have installed 1 template and 2 other modules so far and have had to make several attempts and ask many questions. I also find the forum to be very difficult to search, I think because of how it's layed out. It would be so nice to have each module have it's on section instead of it's own thread. This thread has over 300 pages to it and maybe 20 posts per page?
Sorry for the rant

However, that said, I have made lightyears more progress with ZenCart than I did with WordPress/Cart66/GravityForms. I do actually feel like I'm getting to the point that I will have a live and functioning store in the fairly near future, where I never felt like I was ever getting anywhere near a finished site with WP.

Hello,
I have tried to install Easy Populate CSV - Version: 1.2.5.7c on my site http://luminosys.com/store unsuccessfully.
When I try to do the /easypopulate.php?langer=install, I get a blank page and if I try to do the sql patch manually I get an error message.
I suspect this could be a compatibility issue with the other plug-ins I have:
-Custom template from templateMonster
-ckeditor
-French language
-Lightbox
-Ultimate SEO
-Sitemap XML
-Simple Google Analytics
-Language and currency in header
-Multi language ex-pages

Are there any known incompatibilities with the plug-ins I have?

Thanks
Claude

What version of zencart? The only version of EP that works with zencart 1.5.x is EasyPopulate Version 4.

You need to go to the support thread for it to get the module as there is a link to GITHUB download. The module is not available in the Free Add-Ons yet as it is still in "beta" version.

Hey Everyone!

I am currently working on putting together documentation and some final coding adjustments in preparation to submit to Easy Populate 4.0 to the zencart team. Writing thorough documentation is really a chore! Hopefully I'll have this completed after this week and submitted by the end of this coming weekend. It will still take a few days for them to approve it.

I haven't attempted this yet, but from what you posted the temp folder goes right into the folder where your store is held. Soooooo if you have to goto www.yourstore.com/store to get to your store then you would put that temp folder in there. If you have to goto just www.yourstore.com then it would go into the public_html (root) directory.

I've just downloade easy_populate_csv_for_zencart_v1.5.x_v1.2.5.7c.

What version of zencart? The only version of EP that works with zencart 1.5.x is EasyPopulate Version 4.

You need to go to the support thread for it to get the module as there is a link to GITHUB download. The module is not available in the Free Add-Ons yet as it is still in "beta" version.

Could you clarify two things for me please?
1. At the download page for Easy Populate CSV it indicates version 1.2.5.7c for ZC 1.5.0 and 1.5.1. But you say the only EP that works with those ZC versions is Easy Populate 4. I currently have 1.3.9h but plan to upgrade this year. Which should be used? (I've been using the old EP 1.2.5.4 but it doesn't have metatag support.)

2. Is it just MS-hate or is there a good reason why OpenOffice is being pushed? I've got everything in Excel and dread the idea of converting it all.

THANKS EVERYONE!
